The only thing I can tell you is be persistant, I have more bikes than I know what to do with, and I understand things cost money to build but there is alot of bikes rotting in backyards and if you get the word out enough, when some one mentions cleaning the yard to some one else, hopefully someone will have your phone number,and tell you to come get it, thrift stores, sure the shifter is broken , and the seats ripped, but the brakes are new along with the tires for $5.00, anyone can throw a credit card at bike sites and piece together a bike, but if its built from what you find and your heart is in the build, your building a Rat Rod :wink:
